But Truths Need To Be Repeated Many

Sometimes I Say That Writing A Novel Is The Same As Constructing A Chair: A Person Must Be Able To Sit In It, To Be Balanced On It. If I Can Produce A Great Chair, Even Better. But Above All I Have To Make Sure That It Has Four Stable Feet.

I Consider Books To Be Good For Our Health, And Also Our Spirits, And They Help Us To Become Poets Or Scientists, To Understand The Stars Or Else To Discover Them Deep Within The Aspirations Of Certain Characters, Those Who Sometimes, On Certain Evenings, Escape From The Pages And Walk Among Us Humans, Perhaps The Most Human Of Us All.

That Is The Dream Of All Novelists-that One Of Their Characters Will Become 'somebody.'

There Are Times When It Is Best To Be Content With What One Has, So As Not To Lose Everything.

If You Don't Write Your Books, Nobody Else Will Do It For You. No One Else Has Lived Your Life.
